Good for him - bad for Lamar lol

I’m not sure Howie Roseman knows how to create a good team without a QB on a rookie contract. Guess we will see.

Fair question. His model is to build from the trenches out. Which is really effective when you have a cheap QB and can plough that money back into your offensive and defensive front. But when you start paying your QB the big bucks that is where your depth and quality is going to suffer first. That said, last time I think the main issue was just that he chose to pay a QB that sucked. Hurts doesn't suck. So let's see how it goes.

We'll see if he can keep up the good play.

The cap for QBs needs to be set at 1 billion per season  to prevent future craziness

Yup Lamar is screwed. Should be entertaining to see how the Lamar drama plays out.

Makes Josh look like a bargain even more

Good for him.  He was amazing last season

[DrDawkinstein]

Great kid/guy, great story going back to the Bama days. Good for him.

 

Jackson, lol...

Ludicrous... Allen's contract is looking better and better every time a new one gets signed.

 

Hurts on his best day is a 70% version of Allen that can't truck DLs or LBs or jump over them.

Josh could learn a thing or 2 from Hurts.  Jalen actually takes what the defense gives him and tries not to take unnecessary hits.

Eh, realistically he was never headed to the Eagles, posturing.  This is actually end up benefitting Lamar as QB comp continues higher.

[RiotAct]

he should dress like Scrooge McDuck at his next press conference

I think its bad for Lamar because the QB market was just reset again, and the full-guaranteed contract that Deshawn Watson got has been shown to be an aberration, not the new norm like Lamar has been arguing.

Josh Allen’s officially looks like the Bills shopped at Walmart 

[Inigo Montoya]

Glad to see Hurts get his before Burrow and Herbert.  Burrow and Herbert will end up getting more than Hurts, and the more the Bengals and Chargers pay their QBs, the better it is for the Bills.

This is going to happen every time a qb gets a new deal. Kinda hard to call any player making $45 million a bargain.

 

and great for Hurts. He had gotten doubted a lot and just put his head down and worked and kept getting better. He was awesome in the SB. He reminds me a lot of Allen. 
 

that said, if you are other positions, this has to drive you crazy. Not because of Hurts but because of scrubs like Jones and Jared Godf getting these deals. It’s insane what qbs get paid compared to other positions.

Mama Hurts got Jalen a good deal.

Josh is at $43M.
